We can't wait to see what she does next!

While some of us may struggle just to get our hair into the perfect pony, one artist is sculpting her hair into gorgeous masterpieces sure to impress.

Laetitia Ky, a self-described art addict and aspiring fashion designer has released a series of Instagram photos featuring her hair in the wildest, coolest styles, mimicking hand poses and other movements. For instance, in one image, her hair looks like a second set of arms, strumming a guitar.

But Ky's work is more than just a cool hairstyle; it's a powerful form of expression. She tells A Plus in an email that a Black woman's hair and hairstyle has long been looked at as "not pretty enough."

"And with the return of natural hair to the Black community, hairstyles [have] become a beauty asset, a way of self-affirmation and [a] claim of its beauty. To use [these] hairstyles as means of expression is, therefore, [powerful] because it speaks to all its Black women who have had, for a long time, made believe that their hair was not dope enough," she says.
